1 Bedroom House in North Downtown, Charlottesville

The Recycled House is a unique structure in Charlottesville's lovely North Downtown neighborhood. It is constructed primarily from materials that have come from somewhere else and are getting a second life. It took over six years to collect the materials and use them in a thoughtful way. The house was designed as a guest house and a lot of effort has been put into building a place that's welcoming, interesting and fun! The materials give the place a lot of soul, the light from the 33 windows is fantastic and the location could not be better!
Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall is just 4 short blocks away giving you access to over 60 restaurants as well as movie theaters, concert venues, grocery stores and some great shopping--all within walking distance. The University of Virginia is less than 2 miles away and accessible by the free trolley service. Monticello is less than 5 miles away--about 10 minutes by car.
The Recycled House sleeps 6. There's a king-sized bed in the main bedroom. The upstairs loft has a sleeper sofa that sleeps two, and there's a queen-sized sofa sleeper downstairs in the living room. The sofa sleepers are very comfortable. All the linens are soft and the towels are fluffy. There's a half-bath downstairs and a full bath upstairs.
The kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Bosch appliances. There's a side porch, an upstairs deck outside with a tree house feel, and another deck off the kitchen in the back yard.
A washer/dryer is available off the upstairs bath.
Free wi-fi access is available.
The house is suitable for families with children. The staircase is a little steep, so you'll have to watch the little ones.
If you're searching for a really unique space in a great location, I welcome you to The Recycled House! For a sneak peak, check out the video at recycled.house.

Summary: Debra is a most excellent host! She has lots of tips about local restaurants and attractions. The location of the Recycled House is great: just blocks from the downtown outdoor mall where we ate most meals. The house is charming, cozy and comfortable and Debra went out of her way to be sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Summary: My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights during our daughter's wedding in Charlottesville, and it was perfect for us. Debra met us upon check-in and gave us a great tour of her amazingly unique property. Spotlessly clean, well-equipped and very cozy, the home is located in a quiet neighborhood and is a convenient 5 minute walk to the mall and all that it offers. One of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed in. Debra, thank you for building a home with such character and sharing it with others!
